!D! PROLONGED YEARNING *ೃ hxh

✧･16: ENDEARMENT AND LEAVES

Pure annoyance, is the most accurate definition of Chinoka Meiru. He kept pestering me about how I met his brother. In addition, what's my relationship with his brother.

"Come on! Wait.. did you manipulate my brother!? That's why you—"

I stuffed a bread roll in his mouth as I started to munch on my sandwich. His voice became muffled, and he tried to down the bread roll faster but ended up choking. I hit one of his vital points in his nape and the bread roll flew out of his trachea. Disgusting.

After I finished eating the sandwich while he coughed obnoxiously, "Would you shut up already? I was trying to have a nice meal."

"You shouldn't have—" he coughed, "ignored me! Now answer me!"

I rolled my eyes and complied, "I met him through my younger sister. I only told you this so you would shut your mouth for once." Then I threw a sharp baton near his neck and gave him a menacing glare.

"But if you ever dare to put your filthy hands on my sister, I will not hesitate to decapitate your head." he nodded profusely.

"Wait so, my brother is.. courting your sister?!"

Taking a glance at Meiru, he was excited and even wiped a tear. I just shrugged in response, Meiru seems protective of his brother too. That's nice, unbeknownst to me, I smiled a little.

Meiru took notice of this and started teasing me that I was smiling for once and in return, I made the most deadpanned expression.

We both finished eating and then started to train, he still needed so much improvement in defense and counterattacks. His offense is a bit weak but better than any amateur or newbie.

"So what about you?"

I raise an eyebrow, "Me? What about me?"

"Do you have a love life yourself?" he paid his whole attention to me. It made me think twice about the question.

Kurapika and I were walking through the park to guard our boss, Neon. The ocean-haired female was currently at the restroom, leaving us both waiting for her.

Suddenly, the wind blew harshly towards our backs, making me flinch at the contact. I looked at the Kurta man and he had several leaves on his hair.

I chuckled ever-so-slightly, catching his attention. He tilted his head to his side, some of the leaves left his hair. I smiled at the sight.

"Is there something on my face?"

"Not at all," I giggled, "just some couple of leaves on your hair" I then brushed the leaves from his hair and continued grinning.

"Ah is that so. Thank you." he then gave a smile in return.

We both sat in silence and there came a teenager passing by the restroom. He looked around Gon and Killua's age. Stumbling upon his shoelaces, he almost tripped. Luckily I caught him before he hit the ground.

"Are you hurt? Please remember how to tie your shoelaces properly" I set him down and dusted his clothes. His face was fairly pink, maybe because of the shock?

"I'm- I'm sorry! I- thank you, hehe.."

I hummed and he flinched. I went to touch his hair because there were twigs and leaves on his hair. He tensed up but before I could touch his hair, something or rather someone pulled me away.

"Do be aware of tripping, otherwise you would've hit the ground if not for her." Kurapika informed the teen and the teen immediately stood straight.

"Y-Yes, sir!"

We turned around and the blond spoke up again "And do tidy up your hair. It is extremely messy."

The teen was left with his jaw hanging open and embarrassed. I wonder what Kurapika was on about.

"What was that about Kura?"

"That?"

"Bullying the poor teen, that's out of character for you." I teased him with a grin.

"Hmm.. oh that. That is nothing to worry about."

"Sure... I totally would take that as an answer..."

He sighed and looked into my eyes, he then walked up to me and tucked my hair behind my ear. He mumbled something that I almost couldn't hear.

"I do not like it when people look at you in such a way while you entertain them."

I flinched and my mouth was agape. "Eh? What..."

He looked away bashfully and I saw the tips of his ears redden. This was something else... I had a good ten seconds to take his words in, then stood there like a tomato.

"F/N! Kurapika! Sorry, I took so long, the line was so long!" Neon waved at us but neither of us looked in her direction.

"Uh, hello?" She looked at our faces and knew something was up.

"You guys are weird, what happened exactly?"

"Nothing/Nothing." we both said at the same time and finally made eye contact.

I stood there, fascinated by the blond's reaction. Unexpected of me I spoke my thoughts, "Cute."

Neon raised her eyebrow at the situation, "Eh?"

Kurapika's eyes widened and said incoherent things. "Thank.. thank you.."

That was adorable.

He then waves his hand right in front of my face to gain my attention, "Oi, F/N to Earth, Earth to F/N?"

I almost hit his right cheek and he dodged it, "Hey!!"

"Oops sorry. It's an accident."

"Accident my ass! You are a sly fox aren't you!"

"..I think so too."

"Wait do you mean a love life or my statement?" I then walked away and was flushed by the flashback.

This is bad, I really am falling in love with an adorable workaholic. I feel my cheeks blushing even more.

"Oi! You didn't answer my question!"

"Shut up.."
